The sacred month of fasting â€” Ramadan â€” has come to an end with Muslim devotees all around the world looking forward to celebrate Eid Ul-Fitr on July 6 or July 7. Many filmmakers consider the festive season the best time to release their movies, and some of the most anticipated films of the year are scheduled to hit the theatres this week.

Three major Mollywood films â€” "Shajahanum Pareekuttiyum," "Karinkunnam Sixes (6's)" and "Kasaba" â€” will be released during the festive season this year. Here is a brief introduction to the movies that will lock horns at the Kerala box office.

"Shajahanum Pareekuttiyum"

The comedy romantic entertainer "Shajahanum Pareekuttiyum" stars Kunchacko Boban, Jayasurya and Amala Paul in the lead roles. The Boban Samuel-directed film has already raised the expectation of the audience, after the release of its trailer and video songs. The multi-starrer, bankrolled by Ashiq Usman Productions, is set to hit the screens as a Eid release on July 6 at the Kerala box office.

"Karinkunnam Sixes"

The upcoming sports drama "Karinkunnam Sixes" narrates the incidents that happen in the life of a few inmates at the Poojapura central jail.
